Boots on the ground and ears in the canopy: evaluating the effectiveness of a combined monitoring approach in counter poaching in protected areas

2025-06-13

Abstract excerpt

Protected areas are critical for in situ conservation but face increasing human-induced threats. The effectiveness of mitigation strategies for these threats remains understudied, particularly in Central America. Our objective was to evaluate if a combined protocol—Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) patrols and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM)—along with an adaptive management response, eff...
